Canada’s Artificial Intelligence Revolution

Worldwide, Canada has been at the forefront of artificial intelligence (AI) research and commercialization. Canada launched the world’s first funded national AI strategy, inviting global talent to our shores. This wasn’t just a government initiative—it was a declaration that Canada would shape AI’s future.

The Pan-Canadian Artificial Intelligence Strategy launched in 2017 has created a vibrant AI ecosystem. By working with the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research, three AI institutes and Canada’s five Global Innovation Clusters, we have fostered world-class AI talent, enhanced research excellence and promoted the responsible commercialization and adoption of AI across the economy and society. This comprehensive approach makes Canada a partner of choice in global AI innovation and economic growth.

Recognizing that access to cutting-edge compute infrastructure is critical to supporting AI adoption in Canada, the Government of Canada recently launched the Canadian Sovereign AI Compute Strategy , which focuses on growing Canadian AI champions, building transformational public computing infrastructure and providing affordable access to compute power for small and medium-sized enterprises. These efforts will enable businesses and researchers to develop made-in-Canada AI products and drive innovation.

Digital inclusion is a core principle of the AI strategy. Many of Canada’s AI initiatives support Indigenous-owned businesses, rural enterprises and equity-deserving groups, ensuring AI benefits are widely distributed and in line with our national values of fairness and inclusivity. For example, Scale AI, a Global Innovation Cluster, has invested in education to develop a skilled and inclusive AI workforce. Partnerships with universities and colleges build a pipeline of skilled AI professionals, promoting a diverse and inclusive innovation ecosystem. Under the Pan-Canadian AI Strategy, Canada continues to attract and retain the best and brightest in AI research and innovation.

Canada also addresses AI’s risks through pragmatic management and transparent regulation. For example, a Voluntary Code of Conduct on the Responsible Development and Management of Advanced Generative AI Systems is in place, with companies like IBM, Mastercard and TELUS committed to this ethical framework.

In addition, the Canadian Artificial Intelligence Safety Institute advances AI safety research in collaboration with national and international partners.

On the international stage, Canada isn’t just participating in global AI governance—we’re helping write the rulebook. Through our ongoing leadership in the G7, the G20, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, the Network of AI Safety Institutes, and the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence, we’re ensuring Canadian values of innovation, responsibility and inclusivity play a key role in shaping AI’s global future.

Canada is not just preparing for AI’s future; we are defining it. Our Artificial Intelligence ecosystem is powerful, purposeful, innovative, inclusive and globally impactful. Join us at HANNOVER MESSE 2025, where we will showcase our AI leadership.
